Bodyboard

Abstract

A bodyboard has a body and a coat assembly. The coat assembly is completely mounted around the body and has a base, an elastic coat, a zipper and a cavity. The elastic coat is mounted outside the base and has an opening. The zipper is mounted on the opening in the elastic coat. The cavity is formed between the base and the elastic coat for receiving the body. Because the coat assembly has the zipper, the coat assembly could be detached from the body and changed or cleaned easily.

 a body having
 a front end, 
 a rear end, 
 an edge and 
 a bottoms; and 
   a coat assembly completely mounted around the body and having
 a base attached to the bottom of the body, 
 an elastic coat shaped as the body, mounted outside the base and having an opening, 
 a zipper mounted on the opening of the elastic coat, and 
 a cavity formed between the base and the elastic coat for receiving the body. 
   
   
   
       2 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the opening in the elastic coat is located at a site corresponding to the edge of the body. 
   
   
       3 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the body further comprises a mounting hole defined in the body near the front end,
 the base of the coat assembly further comprises a through hole defined in the base and corresponding to the mounting hole in the body,   the elastic coat further comprises a through hole defined through the elastic coat and corresponding to the mounting hole in the body,   the bodyboard further comprises a holding device mounted inside the mounting hole in the body and the through holes in the coat assembly and having   a string, and   a connecting device mounted inside the mounting hole in the body and the through holes in the coat assembly and holding the string tightly on the bodyboard.   
   
   
       4 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the connecting device of the holding device comprises
 a nut mounted inside the body and having an enlarged head abutting with the body,   a hollow rod securely mounted on the enlarged head,   an inner thread defined inside the rod, and   a recess defined in the enlarged head and communicating with the hollow rod, and   a threaded pin securely mounted inside the nut for fixing the string tightly, screwed with the inner thread in the rod and having an enlarged head abutting with the body, and   the string mounted through the recess in the nut.   
   
   
       5 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body further comprises a mounting hole defined in the body near the front end,
 the base of the coat assembly further comprises a through hole defined in the base and corresponding to the mounting hole in the body,   the elastic coat further comprises a through hole defined through the elastic coat and corresponding to the mounting hole in the body,   the bodyboard further comprises a holding device mounted inside the mounting hole in the body and the through holes in the coat assembly and having a string, and   a connecting device mounted inside the mounting hole in the body and the through holes in the coat assembly and holding the swing tightly on the bodyboard.   
   
   
       6 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the connecting device of the holding device comprises
 a nut mounted in side the body and having an enlarged head abutting with the body,   a hollow rod securely mounted on the enlarged head,   an inner thread defined inside the rod, and   a recess defined in the enlarged head and communicating with the hollow rod, and   a threaded pin securely mounted inside the nut for fixing the string tightly, screwed with the inner thread in the rod and having   an enlarged head abutting with the body, and   the string mounted through the recess in the nut.   
   
   
       7 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body is made of foam. 
   
   
       8 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body is integrally formed, wherein the coat assembly is detractably mounted around the body, wherein the base is smaller than the body and formed of a plastic sheet, and wherein the elastic coat is connected to the base. 
   
   
       9 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the body is integrally formed, wherein the coat assembly is detractably mounted around the body, wherein the base is smaller than the body and formed of a plastic sheet, and
 wherein the elastic coat is connected to the base.   
   
   
       10 . The bodyboard as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the body is integrally formed, wherein the coat assembly is detractably mounted around the body, wherein the base is smaller than the body and formed of a plastic sheet, and
 wherein the elastic coat is connected to the base.
